"Hoppy Fliers"

This is another form of a RAK called Sunshine RAK that we have over at Copic Crafter's. These are cards that are made for someone whom is ill, having surgery, or just a really rough time. This card in particular was created for a lady whom had knee surgery. I thought it was a wonderful get well type card! The image on the front is another stamp by House Mouse - Happy Hopper's Line and the inside sentiment is by Stampin' Up. The cardstock, ribbon, and sponged ink on the edges and sky are by Stampin' Up also. I used my favorite corner rounder by Creative Memories on all the corners. The designer paper is out of my stash! LOL! The cute little flowers are by Iced Got Flowers? and the Recollections half pearls are from Michael's. Now the part that all of you have been waiting for...The Copic Marker combination that I used...

Bunnies - C1, C5, C7, & R20

E31, E33, E35, & R20

N1, N2, N3, & R20

Grass, Ground, & Flowers - E34,YG11, YG13, Y04, B00, & B12

On this card, I used several Atyou Spica Glitter Pens...00, 17, &18.

"Bunny Buffet"

This card was created for one of my online yahoo copic groups; Copic Crafters. This is an RAK (Random Act of Kindness) Card designed for one of my fellow Copic Crafter's. We signed up in January to be apart of this swap; there were 24 total crafters.  Each month two people are drawn to be the recipients. Once you have been the recipient; your name is taken out of the drawning, so that each person has a chance to receive 23 cards in the mail! Something besides a bill; that makes me happy! Anyways, the stamps used in this card are by House Mouse and A Muse Artstamps. The cardstock and ribbon are by Stampin' Up. The designer paper is out of my stash. I am a total paper-aholic, so pardon me when I say "My Stash"! I used the Creative Memories Corner Rounder on all the corners. It is the best corner rounder that I have found so far. The embellishments that I used are Recollections Half Pearls and the flowers are by Iced Got Flowers? from Michaels. The Copic Markers that I used are as follows...

Bunny - N1, N2, N3, C5, & R20

Mouse - E31, E33, E35, E37, & R20

Grass - YG11, YG13, & YG17

Flowers - Y00, Y02, & Y04

Background - C0, B000, & B00

The Atyou Spica Pen that I used to add some shiny bling is 00 (Clear).

"The Smartest Person I Know"

I created this card out of the materials given to me as a challenge by my local stamp club at The Stamp Shoppe in Schofield, WI. The materials that Heidi, the owner, gave were the textured green paper, the designer paper, and the ribbon. I added Stampin' Up cardstock. On the light brown I used a cuttlebug folder; which I have no idea the name. I will have to work on getting them so I am able to share with all of you! I used the Label 8 Nestabilities by Spellbinders to cut the designer paper, textured green paper, the image and the inside sentiment that I stamped. The stamp used for the image is by Northwoods Rubber Stamps, the inside sentiments are by Hambo Stamps, and the sentiment on the envelope is by Stampin' Up. I colored the image with my Copic Sketch Markers. 

Bears - R00, R20, E09, E47, E99, & W7

Tree Bark - E13, E15, E17, & E18   

Leaves - YG63 & YG67

Sky - BG72

The Atyou Spica's that I used to add some shiny bling are 00 & 17.

The gold leaf embellishement is out of my stash. I have a tendency to pick up all of these little things like, small goodies for scrapbooking to cool little buttons that I cut the back off of to make it flat, so I can add a glue dot or two and put them onto my cards! I think it adds a little something extra! As always, thanks for stopping by and if you have any questions, feel free to leave a message and I will get back to you!

"Relaxing Birthday Greetings"

This card was inspired and sent to Jane L. who is apart of the monthly stamp club that I belong to in Schofield, WI at The Stamp Shoppe (http://www.thestampshoppe.com/). The reason I chose this image for Jane is because she always reminds me to stop and smell the flowers; and to remember what is important...to not get stuck in the rut of everyday life! Thanks Jane for being you! Anyways, on this card I used the dot Cuttlebug Folder on the turquoise cardstock. The stamp of the bunny in the flowers, I have no idea who designed this stamp, the sentiment stamps are by Inky Antics and A Muse Artstamps. All the cardstock is by Stampin' Up and the designer paper is by Karen Foster. I used my Copic Markers, Spica Glitter Pens, and Micron Black Pen. The Copic Marker are ... Bunny - N1, N2, & RV23 ~ Flowers & Butterflies - Y23, BG000, BV20, RV00, YG05, & YG11. The Atyou Spica Pens are 13, 14, 16, & 18. The ribbon is a left over scrap from my stash.

"Baking Bear Recipe Swap"

This was created for a recipe swap on my online Copic Crafter's Yahoo Group (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CopicCrafters/). We had several people (12 to be exact) who wanted to swap a tried and true recipe that included some of our artwork, so we decided to make 6 X 6 inch recipe cards. This way if anyone wanted to make them into a book using a bind it machine they could. The recipe that I chose was Chocolate Shortbread Bars! So with that in mind I went on a mission to find a stamp with a baking theme. This is the one I found; it is by Darcie's. The sentiment that I have stamped on the front is by A Muse Artstamps. I stamped both in Momento Black Ink. The cardstock is from The Stamp Shoppe (http://www.thestampshoppe.com/) in Scofileld, WI. The little measure cups are "From My Kitchen" Cricut Cartridge and the paper I used is Wausau Papers Metallic Series. They are a local company here in Wisconsin. The designer paper is by Heidi Grace Designs. I used the Classic Rectangles Large Nestabilities by Spellbinders to cut out the stamped image. On the design after I colored it with Copic Markers and Atyou Spica Pens, I used Crystal Effects by Stampin' Up. The bear and spoon was just clear Crystal Effects; but on the edges of the flour sifter; I used Crystal Effects that I added Dazzling Diamonds Glitter to, which is also by Stampin' Up. The Copic Markers that I used are E33, E35, E37, E53, C3, C5, C7, & R20. The Atyou Spica Pens that I used are 10, 14, 19, & 20. If anyone happens to be interested in the recipe I can email it to you, just leave me a comment! Thanks for taking the time to check out my blog; and as always if you have any questions feel free to leave me a message!

"Birthday Bear Card"

Well all, I finally made it back! This card was made for my friend Karen; she is apart of our monthly club at The Stamp Shoppe (http://www.thestampshoppe.com/) in Schofield, WI. Our group has created a birthday club; where each of us sends out a birthday card to each person for there birthday! We get to create something specific to them! I chose this image because Karen is always alot of fun and enjoys life...even birthdays! I do not know who this image is by, since it is not stamped on the wood mount block, sorry. I can tell you that the designer paper is by Creative Imagintions and the card stock is by Stampin' Up. I used my Cuttlebug Happy Birthday Folder for the pink bottom and the Labels Two Nestabilities from Spellbinders to make the present shape. I did; however trim one end to make the bottom of the present flat. The ribbon is out of my stash! I think I have just as much ribbon as paper...and I am a paper-aholic! The inside sentiment stamp is by Stampin' Up. The Copic Markers that I used are E11, E33, R11, R21, R29, Y80, RV25, B04, YG07, & N6. The Atyou Spica Glitter Pens are 02, 06, 08, 16, & 21.
